She's Here!!!

We're Home. Thank Goodness for no more time in the hospital. Thank You to all of those who brought me food in the hospital and saved me from the horrible hospital food.

Kennidee Paige was born on September 23, 2008 at 7:57am. She was 6 lbs 15 oz and was 18 inches long. I don't make lungs very well and she had breathing problems like McKell. She was placed on the CPAP like her big sister for 4 hours because she was gasping. After 4 hours they deemed her healthy as far as her lungs went. We found out on day 2 that she had left hip dysplasia. Which is where her hip did not fully form and her femur doesn't catch in her hip socket like it should. After the ultrasound they told is that it doesn't look bad that they would recommend follow up with the orthopedic and primary children's. So we will let you know.

Mom-Day 1 was kind of a blur because of being nauseated and numb thanks to the spinal block. I felt fine the following day until ny shoulder started aching. I found out that this is called shoulder strap where air gets trapped inside your shoulder and causes sever pain. I took pain pills for 24 hours because of this horrible pain and haven't had to take one since. This incision hurts 75% less than last time I can bend over, I can stand up without help, I can blow my nose and I can use the bathroom without help! Wahoo that is awesome!

Projects

On Tuesday after my dr's appt when the plan was made for how my pregnancy was going to finish I made it a point to try and get all of my little projects done. McKell and I got her new dresser stained so that we could move her old one into the new babies room. I put away all the baby clothes in the dresser and hung the letters and pictures in the new room. We went to the store and bought diapers, pacifer's and other essentials (nursing pads etc..). I know that might be TMI for some of you but it's the truth those of you who have nursed know what I am talking about.

The plan for the next week began last night. I had to go an have a non stress test at L & D where you sit there for an hour while monitoring you and the baby. It went well which means I get to do it again on Tuesday if that one goes well then I will be delivered on Thursday at 38 wks. If it doesn't go well then he will deliver me on Tuesday.

This is my sweet daughter who decided to see if she could fit in the lazy susan in my kitchen. As you can see she did a pretty good job. It started to make her nervous because she couldn't figure how to get out. She is always finding something to get into.

Redemption!!

Okay so now I don't feel so bad about the day's adventures. I got peaches, pears, peppers and cucumbers with my yard sale money which we ended up $17 ahead on. But the best news is why BJ was outside at the yard sale I put up our log bed and mattress on KSL and we just sold it all for $280. So overall I am feeling really good about the whole day. I guess I just had to complain for it to work. PS I only paid $ 200 for the log bed so I am feeling pretty good about it.

Yard Sale

BJ and I once again decided that we would try this yard sale thing once again. We tried it in june and I think we made $40. Wahoo! My family members are always telling me how much money they make when they do yard sales. Well BJ and I put in ad in the paper for $39 and have only made $30 so far today so we are still out $9. Pretty pathetic huh! I don't know if our crap is just crap and not someone else's treasure or what. Either way after today it is all going to the DI.
